Trump has been declared the winner with 30% of the vote counted (and the vote share more or less the same as above). The good news for Haley is that she was competitive; the bad news is that, as far as I can tell, she threw everything at this primary (including benefiting from the votes of non-registered Republicans) and still lost. So I'm not sure if she actually believes she has any realistic path from here.

Depends if Haley suspends her campaign. If so, Trump is the nominee.think positive wrote:so do they go up against other candidates from their own party again?
the trump one isnt as big as i expected, considering they said they called it after 30% vote count
The 11% win is still substantial, but yes, Haley has done very well. You only have to count about 10% to know the outcome - unless there is a flood of falsified mail in ballots - but that never happens.
Fighting against the objectification of woman.
At this stage, she's probably hanging in and waiting to see if Trump's various legal troubles result in him being actually excluded from the ballot or render him unelectable (or if, eg, his dementia gets the better of him or he has a heart attack and dies) - in either case, she becomes the presumptive nominee by default. The "versus Biden" polls continue to raise the prospect that she might be a better chance of beating Biden than Trump is, so she likely accepts that she can't beat Trump for the nomination but, if she gets the nod somehow, she's a reasonable chance of winning the Presidency (and likely a better chance than Trump is).

That's what I was thinking, too. And if she's got a bit of mongrel in her, which you presume any politician must, you know hanging in with a quiet confidence is precisely what will make the malignant narcissist's head explode.stui magpie wrote:The longer she hangs in there and keeps the pressure on trump, the more likely he is of imploding. It's now a 2 horse race, doesn't matter if you're behind, you can't win if you quit.

You are assuming that the right wingers who vote for Trump will give a shit about what he does or sayspietillidie wrote:That's what I was thinking, too.

The hope is that there's enough Republican voters who aren't rusted on to him to tip the vote the other way.
He was only getting just over 50% in the primaries, if enough people who're sick of him get behind Haley rather than just not voting, she has a chance.
